Although there have been some AI fixes in recent versions and it's better than it was initially, for veteran players it still doesn't rise to a 'decent' level. The AI still needs work and that's the plan for the next v1.09 patch. This AI will not likely ever rise to a 'brilliant' level but some things can certainly be done to avoid silly moves and be less stupid. That alone should result in more challenging gameplay.

A few of us are still waiting to hear from Marshall about the plan going forward, so I'm not quite sure what else to say regarding what to expect and when.
